DID WE GROW UP IN THE WRONG DECADE?! First Time Hearing Europe - Carrie Reaction!

[@MikeHart72]

The only bad thing about the 80’s is that they ended. I was a teenager for the decade and it was amazing

[@ingelaperry2253]

Me too. Wish I could go back sometimes

[@chrissykinney1126]

Well put!! So sad they ended!!! We grew up in the best, happiest, BEST MUSIC times ever!! 🙌🏼

[@yeahboiii6640]

Same here 😢

[@andrewchornoby1140]

Born in '76 here. The 80's definitely were a great decade to grow up in.

[@revylokesh1783]

I was born in 1980 so I experienced them from start to finish but I was but a child. I sometimes wish I had been born in the early 70s so as to experience the 80s as a teen. But being a Xennial (as opposed to a true GenX) is great too.

[@Shane-is6pl]

The 80's was an awesome decade

[@nadiamiloudi6610]

The 80 s were great. I was a teenager. I remember this band, Europe. And all the music of this décade. Best wishes from France ❤

[@robertg7396]

The next Europe song should be "Cherokee." To me, it's a total banger, and it's criminally underrated. It also has some historical references as well.

[@GordonHeaney]

Rock the Night IMO is better. I also think Out of This World is a better album

[@TimoDyer]

Broken Wings also.

[@christopheessinger6532]

HELLO !! IF YOU LIKE EUROPE, LISTEN ’’SUPERSTICIOUS ’’,’’CHEROKEE ’’,’’PRISONERS IN PARADISE ’’,’’ROCK THE NIGHT’’

[@thomasn3882]

"Maybe we'll meet again, somewhere again." Those lyrics have been punching me in the gut since I was in high school at that time. And in a way, those lyrics hit me even harder now than they did then.

[@justjack0715]

Did you grow up in the wrong decade? In a word. YES! 😆

[@michamendalka9902]

One of best ballad in the world

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

NIGHT RANGER - "" Don't Tell Me You Love Me "" / "" Sister Christian "" / "" You Can Still Rock In America "" / "" Seven Wishes "" 1980's Guitar Rockin' Classics you guys must hear. 🎸 🎧

[@joyceellis9722]

I was 23 in 1980. Great times.

[@martinsv9183]

"Rock the Night" next. They also have a lot of songs that were never played on the radio but are still really good.

[@billwong553]

everyone who didn't grow up in the eighties, grew up in the wrong decade.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

The hair was glorious 😂❤

[@stefanmodigh6312]

Hi Folks ! Europe was so great , makes me proud to be Swedish ! Nice haircut,Phil. 👍👍👍 Another nice reaction from the nicest youtube couple ! 👍👍👍💕🇸🇪😎

[@CollinFeatherston]

They were called Power Ballads back then because of the acoustic sound kicking into the metal guitar!!!

[@paulmarshall4794]

Always been happy that I grew up in the 80s. I was late teens early twenties during that time and it was great. One of my friend's daughter asked me what it was like growing up then and she had a hard time understanding that we grew up without cell phones, without the internet, and that we had a great time doing it.

[@beckiramsey9561]

Yeah, Europe is a great group!!❤❤

[@STYXFRKS]

Superstitious should be the next song. So good.

[@JimSteele-ck5vu]

Love Europe

[@Mario-it3po]

Power rock ballads that is!!!

[@robbielux8353]

I’m not the hugest hair band fan but I’ do recognize a good song when I hear it and this is definitely one of them. 👍

[@Steffe]

Classic ballad. I remember thinking back in the day that Europe could have written a great James Bond theme song.

[@jamesnorthup7717]

Pretty much all of the final countdown album was great!!

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

BAD ENGLISH - " Obsession " (Heart Says Your World Tonight) "" Forget Me Not "" / "" Rocking Horse "" and "" When I See You Smile "" 1980's Hair Band Rockin' Classics 🎸🎹 great suggestions Amazing Band and Songs

[@fatimasoares7261]

"Superstitious" is amazing. And what a great guitar solo...

[@mickem4322]

"Open Your Heart" is another great ballad where Joey`s voice is even better.. :)

[@dustinjones8887]

The song SUPERSTITOUS is my favorite. Great performance, excellent guitar solo! All around great song.

[@scottallen6160]

Thank you Sam and Phil for continuing to make videos. I love spending time with you both as you add more to your lives with music and more. ✌️😉💕

[@jasonregister4895]

I commented before I knew it was Carrie but this is a great song as well

[@meltorme-ntor2933]

To answer your title question................. Yes, I'm afraid you did. But no worries! You got us old folks to take you by the hand and take you back! 🙃

[@matteoedwardes2876]

Ahhh teen years. Lots of power ballads. Love it as well as let’s say Home Sweet Home (Motley Crue) and The Angel Song by Great White. Many other hair band ballads.

[@lilamuzik3385]

Ahhh, my generation had the best musicians ever. That is over. All you have today is performers. And rent a guitar. So sad. Yes bands were difficult, and fussed and fought, but when they performed, they were magical.

[@brooksbott3229]

I always loved this song

[@Cthemacman]

“On broken wings” should be next

[@BlackieNuff]

Hey Phil, as long as you can keep your lady laughing, don't question it - just go with it! The alternative is yelling, hahaha. Seriously though, I had a good laugh when you caught yourself repeating yourself, but when Sam started laughing I laughed harder... one of those comedic contagions, lol.

[@TimoDyer]

Europe are Swedish. English is there second language. Joey Tempest and Europe are legends. The 80s never die.

[@Boodieman72]

Joey Tempest's real name is Rolf Magnus Joakim Larsson and is from Swedish.

[@MrFalconbauer89]

Its good to see you reacting to Europe again finally but there is also a very good Swedish 80s Rock band called ''Treat'' (called little Europe, little brother to Europe) sadly they didn't get so much Attention as Europe did in Europe and United States back in the 80s but they get pretty big in Swedish billboard with there famous songs: Rev It Up, We Are One, Conspiracy, Best Of Me, World Of Promises, Party All Over, Too Wild, Get You On The Run, You're The One I Want, but their best songs is ''Rev It Up'' thats for sure and there is a music video of it on youtube but i prefer the studio album version and atlast im pretty sure you guys gonna like them too

[@Variousmotivation]

Cherokee is nice song from them too

[@MartinMcMartin]

I can see Phil's thoughts, laugh at me will you, okay then it will make it into the edit.

[@txrojas]

All I can say after hearing this song is: Thank you Nirvana!

[@tigerwarsawband]

Tomorrow might be a better ballad than Carrie

[@TheMadeofhonor]

Europe, Legends! React to Rock The Night next :)

[@ivonajakic6711]

❤

[@williamreiser3118]

Cherokee is a good song Rock the Night final countdown of course this was a ballad that was a monster hit this is one of those songs when he would sing it to the audience the girls will be throwing bras up on the stage

[@gillesjacques1022]

I would love to see Sam's reaction to Rough Trade and their controversial hit from the 80s, High School Confidential.

[@tonygallo2361]

she knows why ur confussed shes real good i bet

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Joey Tempest and Mic Michaeli. Simple rock ballad. I remember this when I was a boy 👦. So many teen girls and university age women wanted Joey Tempest especially thos song! L 🤣 L Suggested video 📹: Europe performs Cherokee.

[@figueiredra]

Recommend Whitesnake - Is This Love

[@kel5423]

Don't take this wrong, but that is the prettiest guy I've ever seen.

[@jamesrobbison]

😅😅😂

[@RealDiehl99]

Looking forward to this one. The Final Countdown was my first ever album (on cassette). I was in 5th grade (11yrs old) I think when it came out.

[@floridabjoern]

Was the first album (vinyl) I ever bought by myself. Still love it.

[@RealDiehl99]

@floridabjoern cool! Mine was a Christmas gift. The "first" anything tends to hold a special place in one's heart!

[@omgxxiiitsmadiii1]

The second best Carrie song…. LeRoux-Carrie’s Gone is tops

[@kryssieaston3771]

OMG, nobody suggesting "Ninja"? Really?? Some of John Norum's best work on that one.....

[@TimoDyer]

Slow songs at school and college disco in the mid 80s.

[@christopheessinger6532]

HELLO !!! OTHERS SUGGESTIONS FROM EUROPE, LISTEN ’’NEVER SAY DIE’’,’SIGN OF THE TIME’’,’’COAST TO COAST’’,’’TOMORROW’’ !!! JOEY TEMPEST WAS A VERY GREAT SINGER !! HIS TON OF THIS VOICE IS EVERYTHING, BEAUTIFUL !! THE GUITARIST’’ JOHN NORUM WAS INCREDIBLE TALENTED : FOR EXEMPLE, LISTEN THE SOLO IN THE SONG ’’SUPERSTICIOUS’’ IT’S A GREAT MELODY !!! GREAT GREAT SONG !!! LISTEN THE ALBUM ’’OUT OF THIS WORLD ’’ BEAUTIFUL MELODY SO FAR !! THEY ARE CAN MUST DO IT !?! EXCUSE MY ’’ENGLISH’’ BUT I’M FROM FRENCH COUNTRY !!! GOOD CONTINUTION FOR YOU !!!

[@thetruth9651]

Kee Marcello was the guitar player in Superstitious. There was a time where Norum left the band and Kee took his place. Norum came back not long after and replaced Kee, and now the whole original band is still together.

[@pompanomark2024]

Every big hair band in the 80s had their "required" power ballad....

[@swabia1554]

I think great ballads in rock /metal happened later , too but you didn't necessarily know those bands as well.

[@jasonregister4895]

I like I like Europe however the final countdown has been overplayed too much in my opinion so I don't listen to that particular song as much as the rest but as far as the '80s goes yeah it was pretty good I mean we had our bad stuff going on too but you know we were coming out of a extremely dark time in our country and the races were starting to get together and hang out and have a good time The music was great regardless of how quirky it was and tolerance of others was pretty good as compared to today where our tolerance if we have any left is low as far as music goes I've been thoroughly disappointed with it and it seems like we're reverting towards the same dark time that we had left from the '50s and '60s and that's not good

[@alexwimmergren5239]

Maybe the best looking guy on the planet. He’s probably had more women than gene Simmons

[@daw7563]

I'm a swede, I loved it when it came out, but now it feels awkward, its too slow, it feels like someone crying, nobody wants to listen to that.

[@bayareathrasher666]

Awful 80s big hair band. I worked at a Tower Records in 1987 and they did an in store. They were total posers.. maybe because I was already deep into Bay Area thrash.

[@DanWhite-z8b]

Europe one of my favorite bands from the 80s. Such a good time back then. Thought I was 20 in 1980 you should react to their song Cherokee it is so good
